I am using PHP, FPDF to generate a pdf from an FDF file and then insert a qrcode graphic into the pdf as well. I kept running into trouble because my empty pdf has form fields built in and inserting a graphic with other programs erased my form fields. I finally figured it out. Hope this helps someone else who is struggling with the same.
I work for funeral home if any of the var names throw you off and this code isn't polished its been cut and pasted from tons of different sources ;)
Thanks. One change I had to make, a dest parameter is needed for the $pdf->Output call. I used: $pdf->Output("F", $filename);

Insert images files in existing PDF file using PHP?
$pdf = new FPDI();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->setSourceFile("MySource");
$template = $pdf->importPage(1);
$pdf->useTemplate($template);
$pdf->Image('MyImage.jpg', $x, $y, $width, $height);
$pdf->Output($outputPath, "F");
$pdf->AddPage();
Hi Tony, I followed the example which you have mentioned and I can create a pdf with images, but even though my original pdf consists of only one page, the created pdf has a first page which is BLANK and in the second page I get the contents which I wanted. Any idea how to eliminate this and get the required changes in the first page. I would also accept your answer if you could sort this out. Thanks
You can place an image using FPDI like so:
thanks tony for pointing it out, answer accepted :) just one more basic question, is it possible to increase/decrease the image size or the image sizes are standard.
